AgentEval: Evidence-Bounded Assessment of Stateful Agents

AgentEval is a system that tracks a contract-bound assessment record throughout a stateful agent’s tool execution, capturing state, events, and evidence to determine whether obligations are satisfied, violated, or unresolved. In 32 tool‑world administrations, independent checks confirmed all 30 complete episodes, while controlled interventions on 48 evidence views uncovered 36 binding faults that hash‑only checks missed. A public‑benchmark study on 192 held‑out executions identified ten completed subgoals within broader task failures and highlighted the impact of missing evidence on overall task success.
